The Faculty Recognition List recognizes those students who faculty members think deserve special recognition for their academic efforts during the semester.

On Monday, November 6, 32 McCallie School seniors were recognized at Chapel as 2017-18 members of the Cum Laude Society in recognition of academic excellence. These young men were selected to recognize their place in the top 20 percent of the senior class as measured by cumulative GPA in their Upper School courses at McCallie.
